Traveling with IBS

I left home a day ago for my vacation with the kids going to a water park:s I ate almost nothing last two days before leaving home. Put on a incontinent pants for men and drove the RV 8 hours trip with my 3 kids stopped a couple of times to use the toilet but kids like to stop so they can stretch their legs also so they didn’t mind. So my tips is rent borrow or buy an RV so you have the toilet close 😉

Chris H. I have completed three trips this summer - two by car and one by plane. My main strategy was to book rentals (i.e. Airb BnB, VRBO) instead of hotels. When I can, I always travel with food I know is "safe." On the airplane trip I brought safe snacks with me and insisted we get to a grocery store on our way to the rental so I could buy what I needed. I still had some rough times, especially when we ate out (well, I didn't really eat much then, or nothing), but the comfort of having control over the food and its preparation helped a lot. Plus, rentals like that often feel homier and sometimes have multiple toilets, which is ideal. One trip we had to stay in a hotel. I survived, but next time I will bring the travel fridge/cooler for any hotel stay if I can!

As recently suggested by my new primary doctor, I’m taking a Imodium pill at bedtime. A couple times before heading out for errands the next day, I’ve had to take 1/2 liquid dosages of liquid Imodium, but new doctor warned me that it might take a few fees before I see a difference. Except for the few emergencies, I have so far that I move my bowels 1, 2 or 3 times in the mornings, but not 10, 15 or 20 times like I use to without taking any Imodium.
